Re:The Electric Fence Stopped Working Years Ago on Saturday August 16, 2025 @12:06PM (#44924623)
just remember that checking the electric fence is very similar to a prisoners dillema.

if you check it, youre in the right and if the fence no longer works its a win situation

but if the fence still works you're not only experiencing the immediate pain, there will also be long term consequences to how you program yourself

afaik games are not considered money. and steam points are not considered money either. only withdrawable credits (casinos/online payment apps) are considered as money

Is this some form of wine-wrapping? Or do these people code the windows emulation themselves?

All of these on-top-of-wine solutions are always a cat and mouse chase when a game or app is updated. You end up with several days to weeks and sometimes eternity to get some configuration fix

This is how I feel. Most research in hitech is bullshit. I see the pattern of ai voiced cgi video and it looks cheap and inconcrete. So yea, I'll keep feeling like that, thank you very much

Yea I saw the drones pushing eachother. Perhaps I was exaggerating when I said it was all cgi. I just found it amusing that they bothered filming a cart falling down stairs as if its a common everyday problem people encounter and needs some explaining to understand.

To me this is similar to the flying-cars companies. They all have some weird prototype that can fly for 5 minutes but you never see an actual use or product for them.

1. Amusing title 2. Yea it sounds like a smug and shitty company But 3. If I get some parking ticket or some small wrong doing I am totally going to consult with GPT before I go ahead and hire a lawyer. A well trained AI could definitely do the work of most lawyers better than they could. Lawyers and judges usually just recite rules, previous cases and known loopholes. They are a human search engine and they cost quite a bit.
The only non-cgi part of the video was when they showed a regular cart unable to handle plain stairs.

You can feel the bs level when you see a full-cgi ai-voice video explaining something you really didnt need.

A place that needs people to carry stuff between levels has elivators and ramps. I don't need the "finger chomper 5000" buzzing infront of me.
